Welcome to Imperial America
As I write this, the White House is refusing to cooperate with an impeachment investigation. Allegedly, the President used the force and weight of the United States...to help find dirt on a prospective 2020 election opponent, Joe Biden. The calculus is thus: The House has the votes to impeach him. In the senate, 20 non-Democrats need to vote to remove him from office. There's ZERO evidence that even if 'removed' from office, Trump would actually leave. He does, after all, command the military. The courts are impotent to actually DO anything, since they rely upon the Executive to... execute . It seems we're heading for a constitutional crisis here in America, since the founders never imagined: A truly BAD ACTOR would get elected, having gone through a campaign and the electoral college. The Legislature would have NOT THE WILL to vote to remove him upon reasonable evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors The general population would be SO APATHETIC to no...
